I had mine made by a member's partner about four years ago. Can't remember her user name I think it was Shortbackandsides.

I cannot fault the work, or the timing and he also made me ledges and shelving for the cats to climb and sit on.

It is attached to the back of the house so the cats are able gain access through my kitchen window. Getting them back inside is an art

. It means I can open my kitchen window when cooking or to air the room without worrying about the boys.

Think I may of caused confusion as I said of course I would research and actually my kitten came to me just like that and she was from second litter. I said one litter as wouldn't want more, plus all the kittens went straight away to good homes mine would only go to friends. Probably won't let her have a litter only put it as we need to speak to professional before making that decision. I have had cats before but always from rescue homes. Had a kitten once but over 12 years ago so can't remember and she was a house kitten. I would never make any decisions about my pets without doing what is best for them. Thankyou though for advice and i'm sure she will not be having babies now. I am new to this site and was hoping for some help and advice not judgement and ridecule. Sorry if I caused people unnecessary concern x x

Hi peeps,

I was wondering roughly how much you guys have spent on your cat runs? It's not something suitable for here, but when I get my own place it's something I would consider.

Mine was done in oz lol but it is stainless steel, lifetime warranty and its seven metres by three and has a tunnel and cat door to the house up the side, it cost me $3800 which converted to pounds is approx 2513, and this was done through a steel company not a pet one, they also do bird cages etc, anything with metal

I can't remember now how much ours cost I think maybe around six/ seven hundred mark, probably more cos my memory is useless! Ours is all done in hard wood though and dipped etc for long lasting! Hubby works at a joinery manufacturers so we got all our wood at cost also

Ours pen is powder coated metal, it isn't very big but ample room for them to run and jump around or laze in the sun.

I cannot give an accurate figure as to cost as I can't remember but I think it was around £700.00. The delivery I remember was going to be ridiculously expensive around £200.00 but hubby's company came to the rescue and arranged the delivery for us.

The outdoor cat tree was around £80.00 and the dog kennel around £100. The dog kennel houses their litter tray.

I have peace of mind knowing where the boys are and that they are safe.

Here's some construction pics of the one OH made and the finished run also...

Insulated sleeping den hinged from the top so it can be opened in the summer so it's not too hot! It is also double glazed, the insulation is polystyrene between the wood.

It has roofing on half of it so if it rains and they don't want to go in the sleeping den they can go under the covered area

Hubby went out and searched for a fallen tree stump to lead up to the sleeping den then covered it with small border panel logs from wicks

Shelving he made, some of these are now covered in carpet

And swinging hammock

Hubs with his handy work

Bridge and tunnel he built

Artificial grass added cos it hurt oscars bad paw jumping up and down on to the concrete I also grew some grass in an old corner litter tray so he had some grass to chew on

It has now had electric sockets added to it so they can have the water fountain outside and hubby is also going to add lighting to it

WOW THAT IS AWESOME!

i hope ours turns out like that!
